Xigmatek Midgard White Knight Review - XSReviews

"As the home gamer revolution swept into the desktop PC market, one of the most common changes was the transition from the typical beige casings on everything from monitors to towers, to a much cooler looking black. Now this has become the norm and it seems some companies are attempting to break away from this mold; one of them is Xigmatek. Today we're taking a look at their recent release, the Midgard White Knight, a snowy coloured chassis that has quite a fresh clean look. Let's check it out. "

TRENDnet TEW-691GR 450Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router Review @ Madshrimps

TRENDnet have developed one of the first 450Mbit model routers, with the code name TEW-691GR. From the performed tests, we cannot see ultra high speed on Wireless 300Mbit devices, but the manufacturer claims that when having 450Mbit adapters, the situation changes completely. A firmware update will also be available later to enhance the performance with 300Mbit adapters and the Wired speed was the best I have seen throughout all the routers I have tested in the past.

Brando Bond Spy Sport Watch With Camera/Mic/4Gb USB Review @ Madshrimps

The Brando Bond Spy Sport Watch is a gadget with multiple functions: it can take photos, video with audio or record only audio. For recharges, when we do not have the computer near, we also get a power adapter and the 4Gb memory inside the watch can be also used as a storage device.

128GB Crucial RealSSD C300 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s - Planet's First SATA 6Gb/s SSD - BCCHardware

It's nice to see the C300 from Crucial is on the cutting edge of performance and technology.  They use their own NAND and RAM in this unit, combine it with a great SATA 6Gbps capable controller from Marvell and let the good times roll.  It has blistering read speeds and while the write speeds aren't the fastest on the planet when it comes to consecutive writes, the random 4K writes are really fast and this drive maintains great performance levels across all file sizes. . .

ATI Radeon HD 5570 512MB GDDR5 DX11 Video Card Review @ Hi Tech Legion

"The ATI Radeon HD 5570 512MB GDDR5 has gotten that same upgrade. The Radeon HD 5570 comes equipped with DDR5 memory rather than DDR3 and keeps all its other same baseline specifications as well as price tag. The 5570 is supposed to remain the sub $100 budget friendly video card that can be used by both casual gamers and mainstream users that want to take advantage of ATI Stream as well as Eyefinity and DX11. There are 512MB as well as 1GB versions available. I will be reviewing the 512MB version of the new 5570."

Gigabyte H55N-USB3 HTPC Motherboard @ Benchmark Reviews

GIGABYTE has grown a lot in the market lately. They mainly produce top-notch quality motherboards and GPUs, and they have even entered new areas as well. We couldn't say they had a specific motherboard for each user until they finally released their Mini-ITX H55N-USB3 motherboard. Last year, Mini-ITX motherboards meant low CPU-performance. But in 2010, things have changed and now you can build a very small PC with great performance and good efficiency. Benchmark Reviews tests the GIGABYTE H55N-USB3 motherboard paired with an Intel Core i3 530 processor and 4GB of RAM to check which kind of performance we can expect from a Mini-ITX HTPC system like this one.

StarTech PCIe eSATA Controller Card Review @ BayReviews.com

 "USB 2.0 and Firewire have been around for quiet some time but there is always the need for faster data transfers. We recently looked at what the new USB 3.0 interface can do and it's no joke. The eSATA interface is supposed to be faster than USB 2.0 with a maximum of 6 Gbps data transfer rate and it comes very close to the speeds of USB 3.0."

Speedlink Repute Review - XSReviews

"For the average user, the humble mousepad is of little concern with any old advertising freebie doing the job. At gaming level though, the mat becomes much more significant: tracking and precision are key and so a high quality mousepad becomes vital.

Speedlink already have an extension range of pads in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes but the Repute is designed specifically for gamers. Let's take a look in more detail."

GeForce GTX 460 – nVidia’s $200 Gift to Mainstream Gamers

 

I remember a GPU called the 6600GT that offered so much bang for the buck that no one was able to follow at such an aggressive price point. I remember it well because it was the first GPU that I ever bought that made me feel like somebody out there actually wanted me to play my games without having to spend a small fortune. It allowed me to play my favourite games at reasonable frame rates and at decent resolutions, but most importantly left me enough cash to buy more games. For most of today’s mainstream gamers, that sort gift hasn’t come from nVidia in quite some time, but this week everything changed as the GeForce GTX 460 was announced to the world.
